NEW YORK (AP) — Kris Jenkins is not ready to call it a career.

The New York Jets’ nose tackle announced Thursday that he will attempt another comeback, eager to play again despite sustaining a season-ending knee injury for the second straight year.

“Yes it is true,” Jenkins wrote on his Facebook page Thursday night. “I have decided to give it one more shot.”

He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his surgically repaired left knee in the team’s opener against Baltimore. He had surgery to repair the latest injury last week.

The 10-year veteran tore the same ACL midway through last season. He also tore the ACL in his right knee in 2005 while with Carolina.
